PrepLabelQuick answer: Amazon asks for units sold as a set to be marked on the packaging with a label saying they're received and sold as one unit, for example “Sold as set”, “Ready to ship” or “This is a set. Do not separate.” Choose the wording above, pick your label size, set how many you need and download the PDF.
When a set label is needed
Use one whenever several items are sold together under one FNSKU: bundles you build yourself, multipacks of the same product, or retail sets whose box could be mistaken for separate items. The label tells fulfillment center staff not to split the package and not to scan the barcodes on the individual items.
Wording options
| Wording in PrepLabel | Good for |
|---|---|
| SOLD AS SET / DO NOT SEPARATE | Bundles and multipacks (the most common choice) |
| THIS IS A SET / DO NOT SEPARATE | The same message in Amazon's sample wording |
| SOLD AS SET | Small labels where two lines won't fit |
| READY TO SHIP | Another of Amazon's example wordings for sets |
| DO NOT SEPARATE | Items taped or banded together |
| Your own wording | Other languages or extra instructions |
Add the number of items to print a smaller “Set of 6 items” line under the main text, which helps when someone checks the package is complete.
How to prep a set for FBA
- Put all items in one bag, shrink-wrap or box so they can't come apart in transit.
- Cover every barcode on the individual items, so only the set's FNSKU can be scanned.
- Apply the set's own FNSKU label to the outside. Make it with the FNSKU label generator.
- Add the sold-as-set label where it's easy to see, without covering the FNSKU barcode.
- If the set is in a poly bag with an opening of 5 in or more, add a suffocation warning too.
Sizes and printing
On a 2 × 1 in thermal label, “SOLD AS SET / DO NOT SEPARATE” prints at roughly 20 pt for the main line, easy to read from arm's length. On sheets, use Fill the sheet to print a whole page at once, and Start at label to use up a part-used sheet. The text always sizes itself to the largest that fits your label.
FAQ
What should a sold as set label say?
Amazon's examples are “Sold as set”, “Ready to ship” and “This is a set. Do not separate.” PrepLabel offers these and lets you type your own wording.
Does the set need its own FNSKU?
Yes. The set is listed and received as one unit, so it needs its own FNSKU label on the outside, and the barcodes on the items inside must be covered.
What size label should I use?
A 2 × 1 in or 2-5/8 × 1 in label is enough for “SOLD AS SET / DO NOT SEPARATE”. Use a bigger label for large boxes so it's visible from a distance.
Can I print sold as set labels on Avery 5160 sheets?
Yes. Choose the 30 per sheet Letter stock, click Fill the sheet and download the PDF.
